White students explain what white privilege means to them in new MTV documentary

This student speaks about white privilege in the MTV documentary "White People." MTV Have you ever wondered how white people really feel about how other races are treated versus how they're treated by others? Here's your chance.

Vargas is the founder of Define American, which uses media to create conversations surrounding race, and he is the founding editor of #EmergingUS, a coming digital magazine in partnership with the Los Angeles Times that plans to cover race, immigration, and identity, as well as white Americans as they are becoming a racial minority.

In "White People," Vargas travels across the US to tell the story of five white youths of different backgrounds. Along the way, he also has conversations about race with young people at schools and community centers.

In an enlightening preview from the documentary, Vargas interviews a class about what white privilege means to them.

"You kind of get this feeling as you grow up that things belong to you," one female student answered.

"I can walk to a convenience store and back without getting hassled by the police," a male student added.
